OBITUARY.

1t becomes our painful duty to
chronicle the death Of Mr.. Edwin
Darrow, which occurred yesterday
morning about s o'clock, az er a
four days illness. His det th was
SO sudden and unexpected that
the whole community was shocked
by the tidings. He had been in
very poor health for years; but he
he was on our streets last Satur-
day and was seemingly in usual
health. Paralysis of the brain
seemed to be the immediate cause
of his death; the last two days
were spent in wholly unconscious
state.
Edwin Darrow was born in Sum-
NIT County Ohio, July 2Sth, 1880,
and died in Kirksville, Mo-, Oct,
26th 1887, being 81 years, 3 months
and % days old.
His early life was spent
upon the farm. On Nov, 3, 1852 he
was married to Orilla Seabey who
survives him. Five children were
bora to them. One son died. Two,
Charles e. and Fred, are honor
able, promising young business
men in this city. There are two
daughters, Mrs. Mary Hamilton
and Mrs. Ellen Foster.
Mr.. Darrow spent the first year
of his married life in Iowa, but in
February 1854 he came to Kinks
vile where he has resided 80
years.
He has filed the honorable
positions of collector and sheriff
of Adair County and at the time
of his death he was a member OF
the Board of directors of the Saw
ings Bank. He spent nearly
three years in the army In defence
of his country and was both a
member of the Grand Army Post
and the Loyal Legion.
He was public spirited man,
and liberal man. His pocket
book was open to public charities
and to church enterprise. His life
and influence will be greatly miss
ed because they have been widely
felt.
A remarkable circumstance is
found in the fact that his father
and mother are both living; the
former in his S1st year and the lat
er in the S0th year of her age.
He also leaves brother, Mr.. Seth
Darrow, and a sister, Mrs. Mary
Griffin.
Memmorial services will be held
at the residence tomorrow Satur-
day. at IL o'clock.

ALMOST BLOoDSHEDl
An Affair that Promised Sensation
for the Reporters, is Amieably
Adjusted and Broken Friend
ships are again Cemented.
"All is well that
ends Well"

1t has been quietly whispered
about for some time that the
Board of Education of this place
and the contractors for the new
school building were not getting
along as harmoniously as was in
tended men should, when the
command, Love thy neighbor as
thyself," was given, but no one
dreamed that an open rupture was
iminent. Last Friday morning
however, ,as a GRAPHIC reporter was
wandering about the halls of the
new, nearly completed building of
the North ward, admiring the ar
chitecture, and thinking, of the
aesthetic influence the beautiful
building and surroundings, would
have upon the children, he
happened to glance into one of the
rooms of the building. There he
beheld sight that aim ost froze
him with terror. With flashing
eye and mien that bodod evil the
contractor was approaching one
of the members of the school
board. Not wishing to witness
anything dreadful the reporter
hastily lodged around a corner
and awaited the onset. But the
shock came not, and peering
cautiously from his hiding place,
beheld them in the position repre-
sendediby our artist:

Recommended by the Leading
Physicians as a Tonic and
Expectorant.
We take pleasure in making
known to the public, this valuable
candy, as a medicine. 1t is made
with a view of combining the best
known remedies for Bronchial
troubles with pure candy in such
manner as to- make a medicine,
while very pleasant to the taste,
yet effective in its work. It costs
but a trife. The children consid-
er it a treat to get 1t to eat, and
yet it takes the place of costly
syrups and troches manufactured
Mr.. Maynard has been manufac
turing this candy and using it for
years, and has hundreds of testi-
monials from physicians and pa
tients wherever he has sold it,
speaking in the highest terms OF
its efficacy as a medicine. 1t is
SPLENDID for coughs, colds and
hoarseness, and when melted and
taken as a syrup will cure Group.
1t gives us great pleasure to pub
lish the following testimonials
from our best physicians, recon-
mending J. z. Maynard's Cough
Candy:
DIR. T. W. SHAW, a prominent
physician, formerly of Macon City
but now of Philadelphia says;
"The prescription from which
Maynard's Cough Candy is made,
is a better remedy. for throat or
bronchial troubles than the many
troches and lung balsams now IN
the market
DR.. F A. GROVE, of Kirksville,
says: 81 cheerfully endorse the
above
DR.. GooDsoN, of Macon City,
says: at is tonic and expector-
ant and very Strengthening to the
lungs"
DIR. I. S. RUBY, formerly of
Macon City, but now of Lebanon,
Tenn, says: This candy undoubt-
edly saved me and my son from a
spell of pneumonia. / will furth-
er give you privilege to sign my
name of anything in commenda-
ton to your Cough Candy
KIRKsvILLR, Mo-, March Dist,
1S97,-I have used J. c. May nard's S
Cough Candy for several years in
cases of colds on the lungs and
Ihoarseness, and have found it a
pleasant, safe and efficient remedy
in such cases. J. B. MITCHELL.

Dolly Muggins the Naughty Girl.

Last Friday evening Kirksville
enjoyed privilege which few
western cities can;claim,-witness-
ing a drama, the author of which
was one of her own citizens,-when
Miss Lucia b. Griffin produced
her original fve-act comedy.
"Dolly Muggins the Naughty
Girl"
The play is excellent and we
doubt if any other actress could
play Dolly Muggins as Miss
Griffin does. As naughty country
girl she is delightful; as the heroic
Saviour of ner uncle, grand, and
In the scene where she is en-
trapped by Keene, sublime. As
crazy Jane, she is wonderful, and
as Pete Winters the miser, she
astounds the audience, Her sup
port we're amateurs, some of
whom did very well. Messrs B. W.
Ross and Paul r. Davis sustained
their parts very creditably.
The Kirksville Cornet Band,
Comedy Company presented the
play "The Chimney Corner" to a
good house Tuesday night. Dur
the evening Mr.. Cleveland favored
the audience With a triple tongue
cornet solo, which was enthusi-
astically received.

From the Springfield Journs

If the Journal was not altogether
pleased becaused of the President
inexcusable neglect to visit the
tomb of Lincoln, it is able to state
that he did not neglect to visit the
breweries at Milwaukee, There
are some duties a Preaident can
not learn to subordinate, and vis-
iting the breweries, for example,
s one of them.

CLIPPINGS

Considerable excltment prevails
at Avalon, Mo-, over the recent
revelation concerning a preacher
who has been holding forth to the
holiness denomination, and who
has been in the habit of kissint
the sisters of his congregation
homes. Ths ladies finally rece1v-
ed the spiritually idea that such
was wrong and gave the facts away
to other women. The offender
says his kisses were of holy
intent.-Monroe News.
VIM. Randall, young man of
Moberly % years of age, was dan
gerously wounde d by tie acciden-
til discharge of his gun, while
hunting two miles north of
Moberly last Tuesday morning. 1t
seems he had discharged his piece
and was reloading, when by some
mis- chance, the gun went off, the
entire load of shot striking the
head near the left temple. The
scalp was completely torn away,
and the skull fractured, and press
ed in upon the brain. Drs. Basket
and Fauld dressed his wound, and
raised portion Of the skull off
the brain. He was resting
tolerable well at last accounts,
and hopes of his recovery were
entertained.-Huntsyille Herold.
Clyde, the little s or 9-year-oId
son of Mr.. Will Oliver, living
some three miles south of here,
was very seriously hurt last
Sunday afternoon. 1t seems that
his elder brothers were playing
ball, and that Chelsea was in the
act of striking the ball with a
hard hickory stick, when Clyde
ran in front of him just in time to
get the lick on his forehead Just
above the eye. He fell limp and
lifeless to the ground, and it was
a quarter of an hour before he
recovered consciousness. The
little fellow was very badly hurt,
but we are glad to learn that he is
getting along as well as could be
xpected.-HuntsviIle Herald.
1t now appears that Local
Option does restrict the sale of
whiskey in Milan, for we had two
callers Saturday, from a town
In. the eastern part of the county,
who after paying their arrearages
to the MILAN REPUBLICAN,, inform
ed us that they wished their paper
discontinued, for, said they, we
have been in town all day and
have not been able to get a single
drink. We are glad for the sake
of these mems families that such
was the case. for they perhaps
saved enough to buy a sack of
flour, Or a pair of shoes. We
thank them for remembering us,
but are sorry that they are not
willing to allow their families to
read a paper that advocates mo-
rality temperance and good society.
No doubt the boys were sorely
disappointed. They must learn
that if they want to get on high
lonesome, they must do SO at home.
Milan has quit furnishing material
for that purpose.-Milan Repub-
lician.

The visible supply ofwheat
in this country last Saturday was
32,3SS,5S4 bushels; of corn, 1924,
491 bushels, and of oats, 5,SS9,6S5
bushels. A year ago the stock of
wheat in sight was 55,374,10O
bushels; of corn, 13,435,S40
bushels, and of oats, 5,35S,940
bushels.
As will be seen by the
proceedings of Circuit Court, the
clerks were allowed the full
amount which may be expended
by law for deputy hire. The
services of deputies have greatly
increased in value since the
clerks are no longer permitted to
appropriate the surplus to their
own private uses and benefits.

keep out of the poor house, andnoi
should allow one of Gould's little
pleasantries to have so disastrous
effect upon his mental faculties.
Speculation in wheatwas
more active last week and oper-
tors, who have not talked higher
prices for several years are be-
ginning to do SO. There is no
boom, but based upon the visible
supply, which is over 100000
bushels less than year ago, prices
have advanced two cents bushel.
If there is anything in this I'M

Arrangements have been
made for holding a conference of
all political labor elements in st.
Louis, about the middle of De-
cember, at which there will be
representatives from every state
in the nnion. The object is to
harmonize all factions of the labor
elements under one banner, and
adopt platform. 1t will alsoadopt
a new name in one which the
word "labor" does not appear. 1t
is thought that the national free
soil party is the name, that will
be adopted and that the party will
advocate the theories of Henry
George.
The extraordinary depres-
sion in Wall street speculation,
which has SO long existed, last
week gave place to fair degree of
activity and strength. AS to
whether this improvement in
prices is to be permanent or tenn
porary there is wide difference
of opinion. But whatever may
have been the cause the favorable
reaction was of force enough to
last the entire week and the ten
dency of prices was upward,
placing them Oh considerably
higher level than they were the
previous Saturday. On that day
